Greenpeace Protest Pauses Woodside Energy Pre-Commissioning in Western Australia
What happened
Woodside Energy paused pre-commissioning work on its Scarborough project off Western Australia after protesters climbed aboard the gas platform. Demonstrators slept on the platform Saturday night, and two protesters who remained were taken into police custody Sunday afternoon. Woodside Energy stated that the protest actions triggered a significant and potentially costly response.
